Inscription. La chiesa, fondata nel 1078 da Màgnolo di Uguccione a fianco di un ospedale per pellegrini, fu poi chiamata de' Màgnoli. Subì gravi danni dalle frane che ripetutamente rovinarono da Costa San Giorgio e fu detta anche Santa Lucia delle Rovinate. Assai rimaneggiata nel 1584, fu consacrata nel 1586. Ristrutturata nel 1732, è ad unica navata; sugli altari in pietra serena, un Crocifisso della Compagnia dei Bianchi, la Santa Lucia di Pietro Lorenzetti (1320 ca.) e due tavole con l'Angelo Annunciante e la Vergine Annunciata di Jacopo del Sellaio (1473). La tayola dell'altar maggiore di Agnolo di Donnino sostituisce la Sacra Conversazione di Domenico Veneziano (1440-142), ora agli Uffizi.

The church was restructured in 1732, with an aisle-less nave; on the pietra serena altars are a "Crucifix" of the Compagnia dei Bianchi, a panel
